Hi Maxime!
Have a look at http://musicbrainz.org/, it uses structured data, is freely licensed, and they are very interested in integrating with Wikidata.
While Wikidata has finer granularity than Wikipedia, as far as I know you would not be able to include just any piece by any artist. MusicBrainz's scope is probably better suited for your project.
However, why only use one Database? Ideally, if there is a Wikidata item about some entry on MusicBrainz, these would be linked to each other using the appropriate properties. So, you could search MusicBrains and include information from Wikidata if it is available (or vice versa).

Hi!
I'm getting my mind busy on the idea of an application using wikidata's data to identify cultural items such as books, films or songs but with a very integrative approach; for instance, I would like to be able to find a unique identifier for all the atomic pieces created by, let's say, JS Bach or Skrillex. Would wikidata be the place for such a level of detail, while it's not always welcome for wikipedias?
If not, how could one start a complementary database, structured around wikidata entities but linking external items, while letting the door open for wikidata contributors to integrate elements of it? Are there tools around wikidata api implementing this kind of connection? Would this kind of porosity between databases imply to use CC0 licences or could CC-BY-SA be an option?
Thanks in advance :)
